Things you wish existed?

AIBU to think these items/things must exist? And if not what things do you wish existed? (You never know a fellow MNer might know how to get hold of it and reply)

a device that standardizes TV volume, currently sat here watching love island whilst DD naps on me, the volume of 90% of the program is barely audible but the intro music every time it’s back from a break could wake the dead. Not helping keeping DD asleep! Same happens on other programs, talking is quiet but gun shots, someone’s phone ringing is so loud.

A baby monitor that you can program to know your child’s cries/noises, for example DD has started being very vocal in her sleep, mainly talking to herself self settling, but due to it being loud noise the monitor goes off. I’d like to be able to record her sounds and program a monitor to know ‘x sound is fine don’t alert’ ‘y noise is crying, alert me’

Baby mittens that stay the fuck on their hands

A meals on wheels service for family dinners or community canteen you can just take the family to for dinner each evening
A machine which folds clothes and puts them away
A Lego/playmobil homing device that collects it all up from every nook and cranny of the house at night

UPF clearly labelled so people understand what they eat - including me.

A teleportation device.

Just imagine never having to sit in traffic, wait for buses or trains, hang about for hours in airports before cramming yourself into a cramped, stuffy plane.

Of course, it would have to teleport your luggage, too.

God yes please🙂

A spray that you use to clean all the nooks and crannies of the loo seat and lid and fixings. You spray it, it turns into a gel that you can peel off, but it's water soluble so you then just drop it into the bowl and it's liquid again.

No scrubbing, no manky loo sponge. No rogue wee stains.

Just remove the seat and put it in the dishwasher.

A 5 seater convertible so we don't have to choose between the car that sensibly fits extended family chauffeuring and the car we would actually love (& really miss)

First world problem I know, but can't believe we can send people to space but can't design one of these??

manky loo sponge

Blue roll. Single use.

I don't have a dishwasher (and I don't want one) @CamelCaseLetter

Any other smart ideas?

A computer monitor that can be clearly red in the garden in bright sunlight.

Find a deep box big enough to house your monitor and put the monitor in it .
As long as the sun isn't directly behind you it works well.

Proper drugs to stop my hayfever and allergies. I’m a mess and have to be outdoors with horses.
